DON’T LET US DOWN – That was the licensing authority’s instruction to Prova Brazil Steakhouse manager Fabio Soriano De Oliviera, left, and partner Marcelo Mallegni March 26 as members approved a new annual all alcohol common victualler license and daily entertainment licenses for the new venue opening next month at 415 Main St. in Hyannis. Attorney Dan Creedon, representing property owner First Cape Venture Realty Trust, said the site, which years ago was the Asa Bearse House, has been vacant for 18 months. He said Mallgeni, the primary beneficiary of the trust, had put millions into the restoration of the Main Street icon that will serve Italian and Brazilian food in an upscale setting at less-than-exorbitant prices. The very size of the operation worried authority members: total occupancy inside and out is 435, with 341 seats. The potential for the place turning into a nightclub must be guarded against, they advised.
